LYRICS:
When I was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better
But now I'm a man
I look like a man
I'm old as a man
And I should know better
Got my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me down
And my world is something you can't see
But it's still very real to me
You can find it in the hole where I keep my soul
There it is - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about my body and be a real man
I see with my heart
I hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all are gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here
Light it up - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man
Some men's world is only hate and money
Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
And they only live to criticize
You can laugh at me now (ha ha ha)
But the time comes to everybody
When you must decide
When that day finally comes along
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin'
"Oh my God"
There it is - way down inside me
It's a real man
You got to grow up sometime
Be a real man
Suffer them slings and arrows
Be a real man
Now be a real man
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man
Don't take no crap from no one
Be a real man
Get your trip together
Be a real man
This song sounds at least ten years ahead of its time. A genius anomaly for 1975.

Try 55 years ahead of its time. For anytime alltime
Not an anomaly . . . it emerged from Todd's astounding creative genius, just another example of his consummate musical wizardry and true stardom. 👍 😊

Vote for todd Rundgren into the rock and roll hall of fame.
He should all ready be in it
Hey, it's their loss.
He doesn't want it anyway.
He was never a sellout he just loves making music
He's already criticized their corrupted induction system, there's no way he's getting in now.
I voted for him and was disappointed too. Todd is definitely in a league of his own.
@@helenfein6103 he is in now
Yep, another monster Todd track...what a genius. "In Todd We Trust"
HOLY MOLY!!!
I JUST REALIZED THIS IS AN EXACT BLUEPRINT FOR HALL & OATES 198OS!!
(DIDN'T TODD produce one of their earlier records?)
@@umpygoodness2369 Yes, it was "War Babies" from 1974. I hadn't really heard of Darryl Hall and John Oates (as the prefer to be called) until "Bigger Than Both of Us" (same year as "Initiation") and I'd never made any connection between Todd and H&O, but now you mention it Darryl Hall's vocal style is very similar in style to Todd's at times. I guess "Real Man" is "blue-eyed soul", which H&O were famous for, so the musical styles overlapped, too. "Real Man" is one of my favourite songs of all time but seems to be completely unappreciated by the wider public.
Love this song!!!!! My congrats. to Mr. Rundgren on his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!!!!!! Long time coming.
When WIOQ was a completely different formatted station , like a predecessor to yacht rock , they'd play this and it seriously blew my mind ... and still does !
One of the greatest songs ever written
wow, havent really listened to this song since i was young. means a whole different thing now that i'm almost 60
Its been 40+ years ive been listening to this +" love is answer"..regularly. brilliant songs
Yes, about time to grow up 47 yrs after buying this LP. This song is still magical.
One of the greatest songs ever written that unfortunately not many people have ever heard this guy never ceases to amaze me ! Well ahead of his time a true pioneer of music! From another sphere fantastic!
In 1975, Todd Rundgren released an album titled Initiation which has a song called "Initiation" on side one. The title of the album is apparently based on the Theosophical concept of Initiation, taught by Alice A. Bailey and C.W. Leadbeater. The entire second side of the album is taken up by a song called "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire"; the three parts of the song are listed as: "I. The Internal Fire, or Fire by Friction; II. The Fire of Spirit, or Electric Fire; The Fire of Mind, or Solar Fire." The second parts of these three phrases are taken directly from Alice A. Bailey's book A Treatise on Cosmic Fire. Also in 1975, Rundgren released an album by his side-project Utopia titled "Another Live". This album contained a song titled "The Seven Rays" (see reference above). Finally, in 1977, Rundgren followed up with another Bailey reference with a song entitled "Love in Action" from the Utopia album Oops! Wrong Planet. Love in Action was the concept promoted by Bailey's and Foster Bailey's "World Goodwill" organization.[
This is pretty interesting. I hadn't ever paid much attention to Rundgren as an artist. Thanks for the references; I'll look them up.
Still it's "The Way- love, light and truth" is in Our Father God (keep His blessed attitudes & commandments), Mother (be true to your good mother) and Jesus Christ we trust, even, yet.
Todd isn't particularly religious he more questions things - just listen to his Liars album
The first time I heard this I thought for sure this would be a big hit for TR. Silly me. I didn't realize that it takes those with somewhat refined tastes to truly appreciate this genius. Not a bad first name either. :p
Don't sell yourself for nothing, don't take no crap from no-one. Be a real man.
WLAV FM in Grand Rapids Used to play this song - I can't imagine Life without Todd he's a genius 🔉🎼🔈
Was great to do LSD and playing this album

Many a freezing winter in Western NY. Shrooms Blotter Peyote. This and the wizard allwimter
With the 36 minute song on side 2 😅
Me encanta este cantante es original
感覚が素晴らしい
I had my "Initiation" into pyschodelics while listening to this album. Quite an experience. I have an eight page interpretation of the experience tied to this album. Thanks for posting it.
This is the very first Todd album I bought with my first pay check😎

Awesome song Todd is god!
I was 21 years old when Todd perfected this gem. As I look around today at the many soft entitled young people in today's world, I digress and would recommend that this sorry lot pay heed to Mr. Rundgren's lyrics here and man up for crying out loud!
The future looked like an eight-lane highway with no other cars in sight. Top end, unlimited.
A Wizard, a true star, a true genius.
